Do you know what my favorite part of the SOTU speech was? It's when President Obama said that he and many members of congress should pay as high a tax rate as most Americans do, and Republicans sat in their chairs, unmoved at the prospect.

Great speech, unifying and hopeful, except for no compromise, "un-American" (TIME) Pubs and brainwashed hater dittoheads, who are recovering or disappearing. But he showed someone has a plan and intelligence...no drama Obama.

Well of course they did that, their Master Grover Norquist was watching them.
What do you expect the puppets to do?

Today at work the response has been surprisingly positive. I live in Central PA, otherwise known as Pennsyltucky. What&#8217;s surprising is the reaction from those who have been steadfastly opposed to Obama and everything he stands for. Both an evangelical Christian, who is primarily concerned with the social agenda, and a secular conservative, who is primarily concerned about his guns and his taxes being given to the lazy, enjoyed the speech and even said, &#8220;I could possibly see myself voting for him&#8221;.

Why wouldn't they already be paying the same tax rate as "most Americans" do?

I would guess they make more than the average American, so they would be paying at higher tax rate as well.
